When you say that it won't start, do you mean that it won't even turn over the engine, or that it's just won't stay running?

After a long break, I resorted to a rolling start just to get the gas flowing again. Varnish on these carbs is an issue if you don't ride very much or use a semi-consistent fuel cleaner. Use some carb cleaner regardless.

If you need more juice to get it fired up, boost it off of a NON-RUNNING car or something else. That should give you a few more tries to get it to crank and then immediately take it out for a spin and stretch her legs again.
